These are dry times. Summer slips away faster than you can catch it – a dime down the drain. The sky hangs damp and icy today.

Terrorists won’t let London sleep.
This planet can get so ugly. So broken. So disordered. So many of our mirrors are shattered.
There is order in beauty. A divine order, I believe, but whatever your theology you can feel it. The affirmation of disparate parts falling into place.
